Using pro-Forms™ to capture accurate information from field staff using a standard mobile device and transmitting the data back to the office in seconds for processing can dramatically reduce overheads and increase efficiency.
This concept is not lost on our commercial customers who use pro-Forms™ to great affect in a wide variety of creative and practical situations - usually with their applications being developed in-house with little or no assistance from us.
A common theme with our customers is integration with back office systems including management, finance, CRM, ERP and other database systems. It is through the reduction of administrative overheads and badly designed business processes that our customers gain the greatest benefit for their subscription.
Commercial applications generally fall into these categories :
|
|
- General business & administrative |
- Productivity in the field |
|
- Sales & marketing |
- Health & safety compliance |
|
- Secure data transfer |
- Customer specific |

General business & administrative applications
An area often overlooked where businesses can save time and money is to replace everyday manual and administration intensive data collection tasks with mobile applications. Many companies believe that mobile apps are the only for frontline revenue generating tasks, however our customers are successfully implementing applications running on standard mobile devices for a much broader range of staff.appl appp |

Productivity in the field
The primary area for targeting efficiency savings for most commercial companies is in the activities of remote workers - especially those which rarely return to an office/ depot location and that work in a constantly changing and dynamic environment. Coupled with excellent built-in data integration tools pro-Forms™ ensures businesses can reduce unnecessary and costly manual intervention and office administration processes associated with handling paperwork returned from the field.ppThe ThThTh

Sales & marketing
Having a real-time view of the information and market intelligence gathered by field sales professionals can make the difference between winning and losing customers in the competitive environment in which we live and work.

Secure data transactions
For certain types of business and their customers a key requirement is for data to be transferred securely from field to office applications. A major strength of pro-Forms™ is the way data is handled both on the device it's self as well as during transmission. We have many customers that have opted to use the security of BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) and the BlackBerry environment for moving data securely. We also have a Partnership relationship the NetMotion for customers that wish to use Windows Mobile devices in a secure VPN environment.
